Got mine off the girlfriend when she no longer wanted it - that was nearly 5 years ago. Don't know how long she had it. Starting to do some odd things, but faultless until this last 6 months

I bought this phone back in 2018 when it was new and it's still standing strong up to this day. I will not buy new phone because this beast does all I need.
